By the way, this episode reinforced my dislike for last week's episode.

Strong episode, fantastic finish!
Tonight's episode was pretty strong, and I liked how they used Peter. I agree with Noel in that it kinda had this "backdoor pilot" vibe. Like I said, it was pretty strong.

Yea, you took forever this time.

I gave it a B-
And, I only gave it that because it somewhat advanced the story.

AJR, I remember that!

By the way, Noel . . .
I love your observation about the shuffling coin. What a great metaphor for the two universes and Walter slipping in between them.

I think it's the best episode so far . . .
The mid season lay off was just too much to take. I was dying to see how and why Walter kidnapped Peter 2. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the cliff hanger at mid-season (where Olivia realizes that Peter is from Earth 2 because she sees him all blurred up) kept me up…

However, if all this is happening because of his own doing, it's all a moot point.

"Please, don't tell Peter"
Oh-My-Fucking-God!!!!!!!!

I totally agree. Which makes it hard to determine whether their true nature's are evil, good or ambivalent. Sure they have stopped certain things from happening, but it has come at a price of violating ethical principles.

But, if you remember last season when they showed the video of him and Bell experimenting with a young Olivia, it was Walter that was asking Bell to back off. And, the LSD tripping chick from earlier in the season remembered Walter as being kind.

Walter 2 is dead
I've been thinking about this since last night.

"There's only one Walter"
I forgot to mention this.

Best episode of the season!
This one had me from the very start and left me yelling at the TV that I needed to have more. I was checking out the time as the episode was winding down and thinking, "There can't be just two more minutes left. There just can't be."

He just has to win all sorts of awards for his consistently great performance.

His ruthless tone showed just how much of a son of a bitch he might have been.

I didn't like her. Her character seem totally unnecessary to me.

Domino, I'm with you man. Last week she was just all sorts of fucking mean and I got no laughs out of her. This week, I got all sorts of laughs from her. Even when she was shoving her Cheerios as she was leaving her confrontation with Will.

He reminded me of Ron Burgundy sans mustache.

Perfect
Well, as close to perfect as this show can be.
